President Donald J. Trumps lawyer interviewed:
I have this gnawing feeling that Trump will be convicted by the senate.
The Republicans want to get rid of Trump just as much as the Democrats do. I suspect that Trump's lawyers are doing a crappy job on purpose because they are really under control of those who want to eliminate Trump. I suspect that the purpose of the constitutionality vote on impeachment that took place was political cover for Republicans who are planning to convict Trump. They are going to say something like, "I didn't think it was constitutional to do the impeachment but once I saw all the evidence presented I had no choice but to convict Trump".
I think all the Republicans who will vote to convict Trump have already decided to do so but they are just pretending that they won't until the actual vote happens because that will be good for political theater. Imagine 11 Republicans having a last minute change of heart because the evidence was so overwhelming.
If Trump gets convicted and banned from running for office that is more reason to get Trump on all the ballots and vote him as our president in 2024.
Ever since United States v. Nixon, the high court has made it clear that it considers impeachment a purely political matter that is beyond the purview of its authority. In theory, a conviction by the Senate would not be subject to any kind of legal challenge, much less adjudication by Roberts and his fellow justices.
But if Trump were convicted in this case, he and his lawyers would almost certainly argue that the trial was unconstitutional precisely because Roberts did not preside, directly in contradiction of the plain words of the text, rendering the judgement and the penalty of disqualification from office void. I, for one, am less interested in whether this is a compelling argument than I am in the fact that in what Democrats consider an ideal outcome it would almost certainly be made and would thus require an answer. The precise legal mechanism that would signal such a challenge — the refusal of the Federal Election Commission to file paperwork on behalf of his presidential campaign, a primary ballot access lawsuit — does not matter. Sooner or later, probably long before any actual voting, the courts would have to rule on the question of whether the Senate trial was conducted in a legitimate manner.
I cannot begin to guess how the Supreme Court would rule in such a case (with the exception of Roberts, who would obviously recuse himself). I also suspect that the justices would do almost anything to prevent themselves from having to rule one way or the other. If it had appeared possible even for a moment last month that Democrats were close to the 67 necessary votes to convict Trump, making future Supreme Court litigation on impeachment a near certainty, would Roberts have made the same decision? I doubt it.
Why then did Roberts refuse to participate, creating a highly improbable but logically possible scenario in which Trump would be able to void a Senate conviction? It seems to me unlikely that the Chief Justice had some nefarious motive here. Rather than a sly attempt to preclude the possibility of Trump's conviction and disqualification from office, Robert's decision not to participate strikes me as a tacit rebuke of the process itself, an extra-legal ruling of sorts.
Great!Good speech by Trump. He seems in high spirits
